Hourly Care Jobs

Our hourly carers are the heart and soul of our communities. Through phenomenal growth we are now recruiting hourly visiting carers across many counties to be the face of care in your local communities. Join your local care team today.

Blue Ribbon is a national organisation, which provides personal care and home support to customers in their own homes. Applicants will need to hold a full driving licence, have their own transport and have the right to work in the UK. In return you’ll enjoy competitive rates of pay, free uniforms, DBS checks and a free mobile, paid training and shadowing with an experienced carer and a commitment to professional qualifications.

All successful candidates, will complete our comprehensive induction training course. The training alone is just the start of your journey with Blue Ribbon – when you get out and about into your communities helping people live independently is when our care workers tell us they get the most job satisfaction.

Hourly Care Worker Role

A Blue Ribbon hourly Care Worker plays a vital role in the lives of the people we support.

Key responsibilities include:

Supporting individuals in their own homes, with their care requirements, while promoting independence. Each visit typically lasts from 30 minutes to a few hours – we do NOT do 15 minute calls. You’ll be expected to travel to customers based across the region, so a full valid UK driving license and access to a car is essential.

Sleep ins and waking night are also available.

Ensuring all care is delivered to a high standard, and documented within the individual’s care plan.

Personal care – you’ll be expected to help customers with a number of tasks, such as getting into and out of bed, washing, bathing and dressing, or, where necessary, providing continence support.

Managing medicines – you’ll be responsible for helping people to manage their medication after the appropriate training has been provided.

Home help and running errands – you’ll provide help with tasks and chores around the home, such as vacuuming or preparing meals. Many of our customers require support getting out and about – you’ll assist them with tasks such as shopping or picking up prescriptions.

Companionship. An important part of your role, as a visiting hourly carer, is to provide good company for your customers. You’ll become someone to talk to and someone to listen to. You must treat your customers with dignity, patience and compassion at all times.

It’s ideal if you have a previous care background but this is not essential as full training will be provided – in fact some of our best carers have never worked in care before but they have a calling to ‘care’ for others that is unbeatable.

You will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and have the ability to develop strong working relationships. You will have a kind and caring nature, a serious commitment to work and a desire to work in an organisation where you can make a real difference.

If you would like to start a career with unlimited training and development opportunities, then this is the job for you and we’d love to have you on board. Contact us today.

I would positively without doubt recommend Blue Ribbon. The care and attention my dad is being given is outstanding and exceptional. The manager and staff treat my dad with dignity and self respect and they all go that extra mile to help with other matters concerning him. They are absolutely 100%. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

I would recommend Blue Ribbon as they give excellent care and are very professional. Blanda who cared for my aunt carried out her care to a very high standard and my aunt’s flat was always clean and fresh once Blanda had been. I would like to thank Kim and Blanda for taking the stress and worry out of my aunt’s care.

- Margaret E

My Husband and myself have received care for the past two years, since we moved here from our home in Mansfield. Our carers are very kind and treat us both with consideration, meeting our every need. My husband is wheelchair bound but nothing is too much trouble for them. I feel we are in safe hands with this company and are very blessed.

All the carers are excellent. They do everything I need to keep my quality of life. They arrive on time, it’s always people I know and we have an excellent relationship. The manager comes by regularly to make sure I’m ok. Can’t recommend them highly enough.

- Ronnie L

I can’t rate Blue Ribbon Care highly enough. Mam’s carers are amazing – I live in London and it is a great comfort to know that she is in such good hands. Nothing is too much trouble – endless searching for keys which have been put somewhere so safe no-one can find them, patiently listening to all of Mam’s stories, trips to the local garden centre, and even providing emotional support to myself! We really would be lost without them.

- Gillian E

Our first meeting with Blue Ribbon gave us the confidence to accept the professionalism of management and staff. During the time the company looked after my mother they provided a level of care and understanding beyond expectation. Any change of care requirement was organised by Catherine Thompson straight away. Mother became personal friends with her regular carers.

My Mother has dementia and very restricted mobility. Blue Ribbon have provided excellent care in the most difficult circumstances. My Mother looks forward to their visits.
